No idea where would be more appropriate to post this than here. I just wanted to share.

I just got my new tripod. I have it here in the bedroom because I wanted to stare at it longingly before going to bed. My wife thinks I'm mental. I think she's probably right.

I'm so psyched.

What a silly thing, this "activity" called photography. Spend $300 on some stupid three-legged stick that I really don't have any instantaneous need for, and be all excited anyway. I mean I need it... bad... but I'm not on a job so its not like I'm gonna stick a camera on it to get a slow exposure of the master bath, you know?

Nice one, though. I picked up the 055XPROB last week, and though I haven't had much use of it yet, I can really see its potential. It's another lump of kit to lug around though, and it isn't light! I opted for the 322RC2 head though, but the 808 looks excellent.

Yeah, the sucker is QUITE the beast. I need to pickup the carrying strap for it. A buddy of mine has that and it works really well.
